Re: BAs
in reply to a message by Howie
Eva Grace: I like both names, but I think Grace is terribly overused in the middle spot.
Annabelle May: Nice, though I'd like it even better were Annabelle spelt Annabel.
Adelaide Joy: wonderful, the ideal mix of classic and modern.
Violet: one of my favourite floral names. While it's quite popular, it's nowhere near as common as Rose or Lily.
Amélie: lovely sound, and I think it looks better with the accent.
Addie: too nickname-y for my taste.
Ava: boring and overused. I prefer Eva, or Eve.
Kencelee: this just looks like someone's cat walked on their keyboard.
Brinley: I don't like Payton or Nova either, but Brinley is by far the worst. I can only imagine it on a bratty 2-year-old.
Annalee: sounds like anally.
Carson Nicholas: Carson sounds too surname-y, and Nicholas is boring.
Aiden Theodore: I adore Theodore, but it doesn't go with Aiden at all, they're completely different stylistically.
Leo Urbano: cool, works both as the name of a pope and a sci-fi character.
Zameer: okay, but I think Zamir looks nicer (or, better yet, Samir).
Wolf: I like it pronounced with a V, perhaps short for Wolfgang, but I'm not fond of it as an animal name.
Zamar Kareem: they're both okay, but I don't think they go together.
Zane: too modern, and, dare I say, zany sounding.
Emmanuel and Bryan: I can't imagine why anyone would name brothers this. It's about as much of a juxtaposition as sisters named Kayla and Hildegard.
Rafael: I prefer Raphael.
Sullivan: again, too surname-y.
James Anthony: lovely and classic.
Caleb Bryson: the b at the end of Caleb and at the beginning of Bryson clash together, and I'm not really fond of either name.
Sterling Zade: Sterling is okay, but I find Zade extremely ugly.
John Murphy: sounds more like a first name and surname than a first and middle name.
Annabelle May: Nice, though I'd like it even better were Annabelle spelt Annabel.
